FAQ
Effy AI assumes you're busy and just want reviews and goals that work
How is Effy AI different from Lattice?
Effy AI is built for small and mid-size teams that need reviews and goals without months of setup. Where Lattice requires paid implementation and weeks of configuration, Effy gets you running in 30 minutes — with AI handling form creation, reminders, and summaries out of the box.
Can I switch from Lattice to Effy AI?
Yes. Most teams migrate in a day. Effy AI supports all the same review types — 360s, peer reviews, manager reviews, self-assessments — so you can replicate your existing process or simplify it. Our team helps with the transition at no extra cost.
Why is Effy AI so much cheaper?
Effy AI is purpose-built for performance reviews and goals — not a bloated HR suite with modules you'll never use. That focused approach means lower costs for you: $3/seat/mo vs. Lattice's $11/seat/mo, with no implementation fees or minimum contracts.
Does Effy AI work for larger teams?
Yes. Effy AI works well for teams of 50–500 employees. If you're a growing company that's outgrown spreadsheets but doesn't need enterprise complexity, Effy is the sweet spot — full functionality without the overhead.
What if I only run reviews once a year?
Effy AI offers a pay-per-cycle option, so you only pay when you actually run reviews. Lattice requires annual contracts with minimums. If you run one or two cycles a year, Effy saves you significantly more.
